Death -Defying Professor.
Can a man exist on as little oxygen
as a dog? That is the question an
eminent Cambridge seientist has been
trying to answer. And he has done
so at the risk of his health and even
life.
Normally the air contains about 20.6
per vent. of oxygen. A dog has been
known to live- for forty hours in five
per cent. No one could say in what a
mazy could live, and this Professor Bar-
croft determined to find out.
An airtight glass cage was construct-
ed with two compartments, one for
sleeping in, and tln other fitted up
with facilities for writing down his
sensations, and a bicycle on a pedes-
tal for exercise.
This the professor entered, .n:.end-
ing to remain a week. reducing the
oxygen theC
g by simple pr,.c•e=s of using
it up. Electric "scrubbers" were used
every few hours to remove the car-
bonic gas, and food NITS passed in
through doable ha1ehwaye.
Two petiole were always on the
watch to ;cake eb,;e vation:�, and rieLdy
if eecessary to rush in and render arti-
ficial respiration end oxygen. Within
twenty-four hours the oxygen was
down to 1612 per (•ent., and maiciies
would not burn, but the inmate did
not experieni'e ver} miwh 1r14 onv.':.i-
ence.
He hung on till it j.eel ed 5 per
cent . when he was forced to come out
through weakness, a sample of his
blood being taken for further analysis.
It is related of the same professor
that he once told a friend that a cer-
tain gas world kill a dug but not a
man. On the friend maintaining that
it would kill both: he went into a
chamber of it with a dog. and wafted
till the dog was dead.
Cattle Industry 'in Canada
is Growing.
During the year ended December 31,
1919, Canada's export trade in live
cattle exceeded 500,000 bead and was
valued at $50,000,000, or at a sum aI-
most equal to tl e combined values of
live cattle exports during the five pre.
